All Resident Evil 4 Cave Puzzle Shrine codes

The Resident Evil 4 Cave Puzzle in the Remake has you put in codes of symbols into the Shrines via a Stone Dias, with these objectives to be solved as part of the "Investigate the two locations" objectives. The symbols that mark the code and solution to the cave puzzle are actually painted in yellow on the walls, though we'd forgive you for not noticing at first.

When you get across the lake after defeating the Del Lago you'll find a cave with some wall paintings directing you to these two locations:

Each of these places contain a stone head you need to unlock the Resident Evil 4 Church key, but to do so means finding and using some code combinations on a stone dias you find at each location. 

The Large Cave Shrine combination at 1 is the easier of the two, as the three symbols are just there to be found. The Small Cave Shrine at 2 is marginally harder, with symbols that can only be seen from specific perspectives, but it's not that difficult to work out. However, if you just want to get it all done you can just use the combinations we have below. So let me explain how it all works in the Resident Evil 4 Remake

This is the combination for the Large Cave Shrine Stone Dias code. The symbols you need can be found here in the large cave if you want to track them down youself:

In this location the Large Cave Shrine Stone Dias combination symbols are largely intact and easy to see:

This is the combination for the Small Shrine Cave stone dias. Each of the three symbols can be found here when you reach the location, all on or around the wooden structure you'll find there:

However, these symbols are slightly tricker, although not that much, as a couple only reveal themselves from a specific perspective, split over two different surfaces. If you get it right they look like this: 

Once you've found all the Shrine Cave Stone Dias code symbols and got the stone head you can recover at each location, head back to the cave mural that showed you where to go. Place a head in each and and you'll get the insignia you need to open the church.
